Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 514 - 389: Go Up There and Talk Him Down

"No, I figured it out! Looks like I guessed right on those last few questions!"

"..."

Yin Shixiu looked at the person repeatedly examining the report card as if they were an idiot!

Because of this report card, Su Xiaomeng was happy all night.

Yin Shixiu also wanted to be happy for her, but he really didn’t want to act like a guardian who received their daughter’s perfect report card!

So even though Su Xiaomeng was always proud, Yin Shixiu’s mind wasn’t on the report card, but on the excited woman’s body!

Su Xiaomeng was delighted!

No matter how they turned and tossed, she let him be!

Yin Shixiu finally got a taste of the sweetness.

Where there’s joy, there must be worry.

Exam grades have levels and specific scores, and the University of Bath is quite despicable in some aspects!

For instance, they let students check their grades by logging into their personal accounts on the campus network, making it very personal and privacy-protected!

Yet after every exam, someone posts the exam ranking information on the school’s forum!

For something so confidential to be leaked, it’s obvious, no matter what alias the poster uses, it can’t be unrelated to the school itself.

In short, it’s to make students aware of competition.

But... the approach is much like that of Chinese middle and high schools.

This is why Dick made those remarks at the beginning of the school year.

For those who come last twice, he would counsel them to leave.

The first time was Su Xiaomeng, and the second time, Su Xiaomeng was sure it wouldn’t be her again.

People in Class D were quite interested in who would come last in the second exam.

Many who didn’t like Su Xiaomeng or held stubborn misunderstandings and prejudices against her were hoping it’d still be her at the bottom.

So when they saw a student named Shen Dawei at the bottom, they sighed, finding it uninteresting.

No one cared why Shen Dawei performed so poorly.

Some even noticed the name Shen Dawei for the first time, realizing there was such a person in their class.

Su Xiaomeng casually glanced at the rankings, mulling over the name Shen Dawei, but with no impression, she ignored it.

Going to school the next day, Su Xiaomeng naturally appeared triumphant.

Not triumphant in front of others, but satisfied with herself.

With no classes in the first period, Su Xiaomeng arrived just before the second period started at ten.

The weather was clear, and the sun hanging high added some warmth to the face.

But upon entering the classroom, she still felt cold and hunched up.

The second period was taught by Cherry, whom Su Xiaomeng idolized like a goddess, just like almost everyone in the class.

Cherry’s class was also the students’ favorite!

Su Xiaomeng knew that the A Cherry gave her was somewhat generous.

Cherry’s international news translation was tough for her due to her limited knowledge.

Even with Cherry’s one-on-one guidance, achieving good grades in such a short time was almost impossible!

During class, Cherry praised students who had improved their grades in the final exams.

For those whose grades were not ideal, she gave appropriate encouragement and comfort!

The goddess remains a goddess, even when criticizing people, she shines bright!

In stark contrast to Cherry’s gentle approach was Dick.

He immediately named several people, his harsh words sending chills down their spines.

Perhaps because everyone was no longer a freshman, Dick spoke even more bluntly than at the start of the school year.

Su Xiaomeng thought, thankfully, her mental resilience was strong. Otherwise, being mocked and ridiculed by Dick in front of everyone could lead one to despair immediately; contemplating suicide wouldn’t be out of the question!

Yet, who knew...

Someone indeed couldn’t handle the mental pressure!

After the two afternoon classes were over, while some headed home, others returned to the dorm, and still others went to eat, a thin, very gentle-looking boy climbed up to the top of the library’s clock tower.

The clock tower wasn’t very high, only about thirty or forty meters.

If one fell, they might die or become disabled.

After class, Su Xiaomeng went to the library to borrow books, and upon finishing, rushed to the school gate, as her husband was on business in Bath and would be done soon.

They agreed to go home together.

But after painstakingly borrowing the books and leaving the library, the scene outside had already changed!

Around the clock tower of the library was a circle of heads, and then another!

Everyone’s heads were almost uniformly facing upwards!

There were whispers and discussions throughout the crowd, chaotic and mixed.

For a moment, Su Xiaomeng really didn’t catch any useful information, until she followed everyone else’s gaze—

Oh my God!

Su Xiaomeng instinctively opened her mouth wide, is... someone going to jump?

Could it really be this dramatic?

The boy was standing so high that at first, Su Xiaomeng couldn’t recognize who he was, but upon asking someone nearby, she learned this was her classmate, Shen Dawei!

Shen Dawei...

The student who came last in this exam.

Su Xiaomeng thought, it can’t be, classmate, it’s only the first time you’re at the bottom, jumping off a building is too much, isn’t it?

By now, the school’s leaders and teachers had taken all necessary actions!

The security guards were pulling the crowd away from the foot of the clock tower!

The principal and several other leaders were discussing countermeasures at the bottom of the clock tower...

Su Xiaomeng clenched her fists; this was also a fellow Chinese international student, and an excellent one!

Though Su Xiaomeng’s circumstances were somewhat different from others, everyone was an international student, thinking about the parents far across the Atlantic Ocean, still unaware...

Thinking about all the efforts parents made to send their children abroad, just so they could have better resources and training...

With all this in mind, Su Xiaomeng’s heart was heavily stirred!

At this moment, Dick arrived, stood before the principal, and after exchanging a few words, Su Xiaomeng vaguely heard.

It seemed that they wanted Dick to go up and persuade Shen Dawei.

Su Xiaomeng’s heart skipped a beat; this was not saving a life, this was practically murder!

She thought, if Dick were actually to go persuade, forget about stalling Shen Dawei’s steps, making him hesitate, he would probably end up pushing him down!

He would definitely die even faster!

Dick knew he wasn’t suited for this and probably realized that if he went to persuade, it would only make the kid more desperate.

So he was thinking of a way.

While thinking, those eyes, starkly black and white, began to secretly look around!

Finally...

They landed on Su Xiaomeng!

Su Xiaomeng, due to her nervousness, had been watching Dick, wanting to know what the teachers planned to do to save him!

After all... seeing students unable to handle pressure and committing suicide by jumping off a building was something only seen in the news, but if you actually encounter it yourself...

It’s definitely something unforgettable for a lifetime.

Just then, she met Dick’s terrifying eyes!

Instinctively, someone recoiled, and then Dick pointed at Su Xiaomeng, beckoning her over...

Several classmates nearby understood that Dick was summoning Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t pretend not to see and had to walk over,

"Teacher..."

"You and the boy both came from Beijing, go up and persuade him to come down."

Dick just gave the order straightforwardly.

Yes, it was an order, with no room for negotiation, just a simple... go up and persuade him to come down.

Su Xiaomeng looked blankly at Dick...

"Don’t understand?"

I don’t understand.

Su Xiaomeng responded in her heart.

"Or pretending not to understand?"

Dick’s eyes narrowed.

"..."
